MURDER AT THE HARVEST TABLE

She came back to Mossy Creek to cook. She didn't plan on solving a murder.

When the county's most powerful landowner dies at the head table of a formal dinner — and the sheriff calls it a heart attack before the medical examiner finishes — Della Mae Hutchins starts reading the room the way she reads every kitchen: precisely, professionally, and without mercy.
A classically trained chef and professional caterer returning to her late grandmother's diner in small-town Georgia, Della Mae knows what a poisoned man looks like. And Wallace Greer, surrounded by a missing crystal glass, a suspicious land scheme, and a community that has been looking away for thirty years, doesn't look like a cardiac event.
With the Harvest Festival catering contract giving her legitimate access to every room in Mossy Creek, Della Mae follows the evidence the way she follows a recipe — step by step, nothing wasted, everything in its place. Alongside Deputy Earl Pickett, a careful man with a habit of taking the long route past her diner, she uncovers a web of property fraud, buried family secrets, and a murder planned with the patience of a professional.

Rich with Southern atmosphere, slow-burn tension, and original recipes from Della Mae's kitchen, Murder at the Harvest Table is the first book in the Mossy Creek Mystery Series — a Southern culinary cozy mystery perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Diane Mott Davidson, and Laura Childs.
Includes original recipes and food notes from protagonist Della Mae Hutchins.

If you love cozy mysteries, small-town mysteries, culinary mysteries, amateur sleuth fiction, or Southern fiction with heart — this book is for you.
